Potted Plants
Average Price: Starting at $3*
Verdict: Buy It
“On trend” and “cheap” are two words that describe Trader Joe’s plants, according to Pop Sugar. Refinery29 concurred, noting that they were “adorable and reasonably priced.” Succulents are available for as little as $3.99, and eucalyptus plants are available for as little as $2.99. A pricey potted plant can be found on occasion at Trader Joe’s, although this is an uncommon occurrence. The potted plant department may be found near the produce section of the store. Because they are so adorable, as Pop Sugar put it, once you see the potted plants, you won’t be able to forget that they are even there. Additionally, dried lavender can be purchased for $4 at Trader Joe’s, which will provide aromatherapy and cheer to your home, especially throughout the winter and late fall.
Trader Joe’s Toilet Paper
Average Price: $4.99/12 rolls*
Verdict: Skip It (if not individual)
For a while, we advised taking any toilet paper you could get your hands on, and we still recommend doing so because you never know when a shortage would occur again in the future. Trader Joe’s toilet paper is unusually costly, with six rolls selling $3.99 and twelve rolls costing $4.99, respectively. While the price difference isn’t too significant, given that the latter contains double the number of rolls for only $1 more, you can discover cheaper alternatives. Individual rolls are also available for $0.69 at Trader Joe’s, which is a great deal. Using a creative marketing strategy, the store was able to avert a toilet paper shortage in the spring of 2020 by contracting with hotels that were no longer in need of toilet paper.
